Amazon Alexa & evohome/szt - small update

[Rameses]

Hi

Amazon have made significant changes to their platform and consequently the teams were able to work together and improve the stability - we think we nailed it.

In addition - the new Amazon instruction sets (previously in beta) are now deployed. Key for evohome and temp devices is the ability to ask about the temp and get a sensible response.

"Alexa, what is the temperature in the living room" - "the living room temperature is 24 degrees" - it will handle .5 degree increments.

You have to get the 'object' exactly as you named in evohome. eg You cant say master bedroom, if its master bed

PS If you haven't already please review the skill in Amazon (it helps me out)

I've just had a disconnect notification from my evohome - and now I can't log in - assume this is because of the update ?

No the update was done a while back. You can't login at all? Have you disconnected and reconnected the skill?

No - The whole system is offline . I had an email about maintenance scheduled for today ? And just had a disconnect email. I'm on a different continent but can log into network and see that the controller is pingable

Strictly speaking I think the email is saying that you lost connection to the controller ? (Pre wifi)

Connection magically restored ?

Spoke to soon - disconnected again

I suspect a botched update ?
